How to take a hot spring bath

When it comes to hot spring bathing, I believe most people have not experienced it personally. Most people's understanding of hot spring bathing is mostly based on the introductions on TV programs.

But most people don’t know how to take a hot spring bath, so let’s talk in detail about how to take a hot spring bath.

1. Before taking a bath, you should take off any metal jewelry you are wearing, otherwise it will react chemically with the minerals in the hot spring and cause the jewelry to change color.

3. Patients with hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases can take a hot spring bath if they take medication regularly or with the permission of a doctor, but each bath should not exceed 20 minutes. And please note: Before entering the water, wipe your body slowly with hot spring water, and then enter after you adapt to the water, so as not to affect the normal contraction of blood vessels: when exiting the water, stand up slowly to prevent dizziness and falls due to vascular expansion and decreased blood pressure, which may induce cerebral stroke or myocardial infarction.

4. Cancer and leukemia patients should not take a hot spring bath to avoid stimulating metabolism and accelerating physical deterioration.

5. Diabetic patients can take a hot spring bath if their blood sugar is well controlled and their physical signs are relatively stable. If blood sugar is unstable, sweating in hot springs will cause dehydration and lead to changes in blood sugar. In addition, most diabetic patients suffer from peripheral neuropathy, abnormal sensation in the palms and soles of the feet, and poor temperature sensitivity, so they are easily burned by long-term immersion without knowing it.

6. Patients with skin wounds, ulcers or fungal infections such as athlete's foot and eczema are not suitable for hot spring bathing to avoid polluting the water quality and causing the wound to worsen. Patients with allergic skin diseases are also not suitable for soaking in high-temperature spring water, so as to avoid urticaria caused by accelerated evaporation of skin moisture and damage to the skin's protective layer.

7. It is best not to take a hot spring bath during or before and after a woman’s menstrual period, or in the early or late stages of pregnancy.

8. It is not suitable to take a hot spring bath when you are physically tired due to lack of sleep, staying up late, malnutrition, or just recovering from a serious illness, so as to avoid cerebral ischemia or shock caused by sudden exposure to high temperatures.

9. It is best not to take a hot spring bath alone to avoid accidents.

I believe that after reading the above article in detail, everyone should now have a great understanding of how to take a hot spring bath. This is of certain benefit to people who want to take a hot spring bath or people who take a hot spring bath frequently.
